Wrong Place, McAfee Time: A Firsthand Account of the John McAfee Belize Scandal

by Jack Doyle

This book is based on real events that took place in Belize in November 2012. The author has chosen to publish this account under a pseudonym due to the sensitive nature of the content and the potential personal or legal risks involved in sharing it.
Names, timelines, and identifying details have not been changed. The events described are presented as personal recollections—memories from a brief but intense two-week period spent working in close proximity to John McAfee, during a time of growing paranoia, political pressure, and criminal suspicion.
While some elements may seem unbelievable, they reflect the author’s impressions and lived experience at the time. This is not a biography, legal testimony, or investigative exposé—it is the firsthand account of a man who found himself, briefly and unexpectedly, caught in the orbit of a tech mogul unraveling in paradise.
